Newfangled and their Elevate Mastering Bundle just missed the cut, but I’m already running pre-release software successfully from that suite and those downloads should be available soon. That’s a lot of great stuff – H3000, H9 series (Blackhole and MangledVerb and UltraTap), the excellent Anthology, Omnipressor, the H910 and 949 harmonizers, Ultraverb, and Tverb, to name a few. Only AAX is missing – because, well, Avid. (They’re universal builds, so you can swap between machines and hosts easily.) They also support macOS Monterey and Windows 11. Eventide’s full software range of plug-ins (AU, VST2, and VST3) now all support Apple Silicon M1 natively. (I’m also running Ableton Live’s public 11.1 beta and haven’t looked back.) So as it has in the last 30 years of Mac processor transitions, stuff like plug-ins is what probably holds you back from upgrading. And the fact they run on iLok suggests more iLok-based plug-ins from other vendors are likely inbound soon, too.ĭAWs are mostly easy – especially if you use something like Apple’s own Logic, which is M1 native. Eventide is the latest, bringing a massive arsenal of essential stuff. The floodgates are open, and not only are we seeing new Apple hardware, but M1 native plug-ins to take advantage of it, too.
